Description
“Joe Feldman shows us how we can use grading to help students become the leaders of
their own learning and lift the veil on how to succeed. . . . This must-have book will help
teachers learn to implement improved, equity-focused grading for impact.”--Zaretta
Hammond,Author of Culturally Responsive Teaching & The BrainCrack open the grading
conversationHere at last—and none too soon—is a resource that delivers the research base,
tools, and courage to tackle one of the most challenging and emotionally charged conversations in
today’s schools: our inconsistent grading practices and the ways they can inadvertently perpetuate
the achievement and opportunity gaps among our students.With Grading for Equity, Joe Feldman
cuts to the core of the conversation, revealing how grading practices that are accurate, biasresistant,
and motivational will improve learning, minimize grade inflation, reduce failure rates, and
become a lever for creating stronger teacher-student relationships and more caring classrooms.
Essential reading for schoolwide and individual book study or for student advocates, Grading for
Equity provides A critical historical backdrop, describing how our inherited system of grading was
originally set up as a sorting mechanism to provide or deny opportunity, control students, and
endorse a “fixed mindset” about students’ academic potential—practices that are still in place a
century later A summary of the research on motivation and equitable teaching and learning,
establishing a rock-solid foundation and a “true north” orientation toward equitable grading
practices Specific grading practices that are more equitable, along with teacher examples,
strategies to solve common hiccups and concerns, and evidence of effectiveness Reflection tools
for facilitating individual or group engagement and understandingAs Joe writes, “Grading practices
are a mirror not just for students, but for us as their teachers.” Each one of us should start by
asking, “What do my grading practices say about who I am and what I believe?” Then, let’s make
the choice to do things differently . . . with Grading for Equity as a dog-eared reference.
